RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025
Alice is a vocal harmony trio made up of three persons, joined by a cheap synth and limited virtuosity. Together, they craft a kind of future folklore that's part funny, part apocalyptic -- half-soft, half-harsh, half-sad, half-simple, half-complex, half-controlled, half-Yvonne Harder, half-Sarah André, half-Lisa Harder. Since their last album L'Oiseau Magnifique (BJR 091CD), Alice have spent time on the road -- in cars, in trains, out in the open. Accustomed to writing outdoors, they slowly stitched together a collection of new songs. After two years of performing in clubs, bars, stairwells, carpentry workshops, activist agricultural fairs and roadside shoulders, they took their Oiseau Magnifique just about everywhere. It felt like time to sew these new pieces together -- a quilt of humor and soft words, something we could really use in these half-sweet, half-fascist times. Les Châteaux Faibles is the name of one of their latest songs, and naturally, the title of their new album. It captures the group's ethos perfectly -- a search for refuge in fragility, in a weakness that's better when shared. A collective sensitivity to bring us closer, stronger -- united in Châteaux Faibles.

2LP Silk Screen Sleeve plus insert. Before Guaracha UFO propelled Meridian Brothers onto the international stage, Eblis Álvarez was already shaping his singular sonic universe in the shadows. Released only on CD in between 2009 and 2012 via local label La Distritofónica, Meridian Brothers VI and VII never had wide distribution or media exposure. Yet, these albums represent a crucial phase in the band's evolution, capturing the energy of Bogotá's experimental cumbia scene at the time. On VI, Álvarez crafts a hallucinatory patchwork of cumbia and vallenato, using his guitar as the guiding thread before layering other instruments on top. These two albums laid the foundation for the radical fusion and irreverent spirit that would later define Meridian Brothers. Now reissued on vinyl for the first time, these historic recordings offer a raw and fascinating glimpse into the origins of one of Latin America's most forward-thinking musical projects.

The Argentinian punk-noise-queer combo Blanco Tet ais back with a new album from the underground scene of Buenos Aires. La Debacle De Las Divas is a raw, satiric and emotional album about capitalism's obsession with youth, and the burnout of always having to keep yourself "new." It dives into the sounds of pop and rock, noise, no wave and even metal and grunge, and it´s a record for the working-class divas, the Flixbus divas -- too broke, too tired, too late, but still loud. Recorded live in one room, no overdubs, no edits -- just the urgent chaos of cables, bodies and feedback. It's danceable, glitchy, and full of heartache and rage. Fuck meritocracy. Fuck techno-feudalism. This is survival music for the ones paying subscriptions to platforms that censor them. La Debacle De Las Divas is a shelter and also a call to arms for outdated divas.

"The worst madness to be wise in a mad world" chant Hyperculte in their second album Massif Occidental, true musical liberty cry, happy and wild. The duo, formed by the cream of Genevan experimental scene -- Simone Aubert in drums, guitar, and vocals, and Vincent Bertholet in double-bass and vocals -- follows its crazy procession in a chaotic word to carry you away in its disco, pop, kraut, punk, and post rock trance. Sharped rhythmic, composition inventiveness, poetic and committed lyrics, the eight songs of the album, written from musical improvisations, from pieces of literary texts and politic slogans, give evidence of the decided and sharped look of the two musicians about our time. The instruments and voices (a worked feminine singing and a masculine scansion more brutal and spoke) full of various effects and distortions, discuss, play and answer each other. Recorded in Hambourg, in Felix Kubin's, To Rococo Rot's, Faust's, etc. studio which gives all the songs a sharped electro-pop touch, the album sounds like shot at glory, a poetic resistance appeal for an "army of dreamers". Between idealism and pessimism, joy and urgency, Hyperculte confirms their debuts and shows their own madness with a Massif Occidental firmly invincible.

For their third album on Bongo Joe, Madalitso Band takes a new direction. After two records capturing the raw intensity of their live performances, the Malawian duo ventures for the first time into the possibilities of the studio -- without ever compromising their signature style or energy. Armed with their handmade babatone, a guitar, and their interwoven voices, Yobu and Yosefe craft a sound at the crossroads of banjo music, kwela, gospel, and African folk. An acoustic trance that's both minimal and vibrant, deeply rooted in tradition yet undeniably fresh and contemporary. On Ma Gitala, they add new textures: layered vocals, playful percussion, melodic surprises, and guests from their close and family circles. Always guided by instinct, the band reveals a more intimate and narrative side of their universe -- full of memories, spontaneity, and close-knit complicity. An album that captures the joy and creativity of two artists who turned the street into a stage, and the stage into a playground.

With Ylh Bye Bye, Swiss-Moroccan producer Sami Galbi delivers a raw and electrifying debut album after the success of his first single "Dakchi Hani / Rruina." Merging North African folk, chaâbi, and trap with forward-thinking electronic club music, his punk energy and DIY ethos stem from years immersed in Lausanne's underground squat scene, shaping a sound that's both deeply personal and politically charged. Driven by infectious North African melodic loops, heavy basslines, and percussive textures -- blending bendir drums, karkabas, and analog synths -- Ylh Bye Bye pulses with urgency. From high-energy dancefloor anthems to dreamy acid pop ballads, the album explores themes of migration, identity, and belonging. Galbi's Arabic vocals oscillate between auto-tuned harmonies and spoken word, capturing the tensions of diaspora life. Recorded between Switzerland and Morocco, the album's title -- meaning "Let's go" or "See you" in regional slang -- reflects the artist's nomadic journey, from a DIY studio in a van to a transformative creative residency in Casablanca. It's a work of constant movement, embodying both departure and return. Featuring FlexFab and INES.

Violeta García is a cellist, composer and curator from Buenos Aires, Argentina, based in Bern, Switzerland. Working across a broad spectrum of artforms including improvisation, contemporary classical and electronic music, she now presents her new album IN/OUT via Bongo Joe. After dedicating years to the study of classical and popular music on the violoncello, and later delving into contemporary composition and improvisation, Garcia came to the realization that her unique musical voice yearned to transcend specific genres, and she has embarked on extensive tours throughout Europe and around the globe, showcasing her work as a soloist, collaborator and with her experimental rock project, Blanco Teta. In 2015, she co-founded Latin America digital label TVL-REC, dedicated to the production of experimental and improvised music. For IN/OUT, Garcia worked with expanded cello techniques, recorded in a cave in Geneva, Switzerland, which once housed the city's water reservoir. Employing the resonance of the natural acoustics of the site as a sound body, Garcia fuses improvisation, composition and new sounds, actively engaging in experimentation with extended techniques and prepared instrument, whilst exploring dynamic, rhythmic, and original melodic combinations.

The Swiss trio AMAMI returns with Islands, a new EP featuring four explosive tracks along with their Dub versions. Following the success of their previous projects Giant and Soleil, the group continues to explore the intersection of Dancehall, Dub, and Afro-Pop, while staying true to their live approach, without sequencers or computers. Issued from the EP comes "Wrong Way." The track kicks off with a powerful Jamaican influence, mixing steppa, rockers, and dub into AMAMI's signature explosive fusion. This track, a real dance floor igniter during the group's European tours, is an energetic bombshell that turns every set upside down. In addition to the original song, the 7'' features a Dub version, paying homage to the Jamaican Dub scene. For this remix, AMAMI collaborated with Dub legends Vibronics from the UK. These bold reinterpretations honor the genre, emphasizing bass, drums, and sound effects like delay and reverb, all while staying rooted in a dynamic and experimental vibe that invites dancing.

"After the very acoustic ¿Dónde estás María?, I decided to try a new experiment taking as a reference the legendary group Cumbia siglo XX which is a group who explores a futuristic vision of coastal cumbia in the '80s, together with other groups such as Grupo folclórico, 2000 voltios, and others, mainly under the label Machuca and Felito records. This new '80s cumbia was a combination of funky basses and a further evolution of the rhythms, blending this style with disco and even rock music and superimposing the traditional versus the urban context and the modernity. Meridian Brothers took this as a departing point and inspiration, making the same experiment but in XXI century, using the modern media of this time; all kinds of drum machines, guitars and synths, algorithmic software etc, and also taking into account the global exposition of modern cumbia in the 2010s. So all kinds of influences and genres are blended around this cumbia axis. Urban beats, synthy grooves, glitches and all kinds of swear words, and all kinds of slang language are included in the songs of the album. All these elements are filtered and passed through the traditional train of thought of Meridian Brothers, which is the figuration of an abstract picture of sound put it within a concrete context or cultural tendency." --Eblis Álvarez/Meridian Brothers

In between two European concerts and some recording session, Cyril and Cyril took a break and used a tiny gap in their hectic schedule (both member of Yalla Miku, co-managing Bongo Joe Records for C. Yeterian and touring with La Tune and other projects for C. Bondi) to go the studio to record two atomic tracks with their children. They played a myriad of instruments, including typewriters and ping pong balls. Jeannot, Zoé, Marilou, Marlowe, and Lénaïs sang sharp and joyful manifesto-like texts to express how absurd and boring the adult world seems to them. The result is a brilliant 7'' released on Les Disques Bongo Joe (obviously).

Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp's latest album, Ventre Unique, is a dynamic exploration that seamlessly blends folk, krautrock, post-punk, and African rhythms, delivering an emotionally charged yet exuberant listening experience. Helmed by Geneva-based Vincent Bertholet, the orchestra's ever-evolving lineup and distinctive sound pay homage to both African music traditions and avant-garde artist Marcel Duchamp, while pushing the boundaries of contemporary music. Recorded over ten days in the outskirts of Paris at Studio Midilive, the album features an eclectic international cast of 12 musicians. The result is a beautifully organic sound that balances Bertholet's simple, loop-based compositions with intricate arrangements of marimba, horns, strings, and angular guitars. Ventre Unique is the group's sixth album and follows their acclaimed 2021 release, We're Ok But We're Lost Anyway (BJR 073LP). While their previous work captured the disarray of the world during the pandemic, Ventre Unique reflects on shared human experiences, inviting listeners to find common ground through music.

Citron Citron is back! The ethereal sister-and-brother duo has worked hard over the past two years on their new album Maréeternelle. Maintaining their majestic compositions, dual lead vocals, and home-made organic sound machinery, Citron Citron delves deeper into their sonic universe, singing about daily life, death, and love with the same poetic and personal vibe. Recorded in their home studio, and with a rare '70s EMS synth handed down from their respected avant-garde artist grandfather Rainer Boesch also making an appearance, Citron Citron's light touch is an analogue charm, measuring up to the giants of the genre's history. Its title, Maréeternelle, is a compound word coined by the duo and translating as "eternal tide." It references the continuous cyclical flow of existence -- day and night; life and death -- and how they, you and I structure our lives around this.
